Although he doesn't remember, apparently, Wataru and Akira were classmates in elementary school and that's why she decided to give him a shot. However, Wataru learns that if he wants to keep this job, he has to work hard to get Akira re-elected or his position will no longer exist and the competition looks very fierce this year.
